My bike at the time was a 03 BMW f650gs, and I had recently fallen in love with ridding the dirt roads of Vermont. I had been doing some research of the BH road and figured it was time to get after it. So on a nice sunny morning in June I set off from Burlington. It took about 1.5 hours of highway ridding to get to the start of the trail, but as soon as I got on the trail it all turned to dirt, farmlands and beautiful mountain views. The BH road follows the ridges of the mountains for 150 or so miles from Wells River to North Troy through the remote Northeast Kingdom. Its mostly well maintained dirt road for 90% of the time, but there are about 15 miles of un-maintained class 4 road called the hero section that really gave my GS and I a good ride. I was surprised to find that most of the road showed up on my GPS, even some of the class 4 were in the GPS. The ride from Wells River to Troy took about 5 hours, although I stopped a lot for photos, food and route finding and because I was solo the hero sections ate up a lot of time. It’s a great ride that I recommend to anyone in the northeast looking for a great day trip.
